Castello della Pietra, Medieval castle on coastal cliff in Roseto Capo Spulico, Italy.
The trapezoidal fortress stands on a limestone cliff above the beach, featuring three towers and a central courtyard with water cisterns and stables.
Frederick II of Swabia reconstructed the castle in the 13th century after seizing it from the Knights Templar during conflicts following the Sixth Crusade.
The castle portal displays a mix of Gothic architecture with Christian, Islamic, and Jewish symbols, reflecting Frederick II's vision of religious unity.
The castle operates as a restaurant and event venue, offering guided tours through reservation at +39 0981 913479 with medieval-furnished halls.
According to regional records, the castle might have stored the Holy Shroud between 1204 and 1253 during Frederick II's reign.
